Zaka Ashraf stopped from working as PCB Chairman

ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday stopped Zaka Ashraf from working as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman and has issued notices to the concerned parties seeking a reply within a week, Geo News reported.

IHC Justice Shaukat Siddiqui was hearing a petition filed by the Army cricket team’s former coach, Major (retired) Ahmad Nadeem Suddle. The petitioner has pleaded, that the election of Zaka Ashraf as PCB chairman was malafide and the Board constituted for election was illegal because it had no representation from Punjab.

The petitioner, therefore, prayed that fresh election of PCB chairman be ordered and all former cricketers should be allowed to participate in this fresh election.

Secretary Sports, Pakistan sports Board, Ministry of Inter Provincial Coordination and PCB chairman have been made respondents in the petition.
